A mounting interface system is provided and is adapted for the engagement of any of a plurality of electronic components with eyewear such as eyeglasses and goggles. The system employs a mounting component on the eyewear which is engageable and adjustable with a complimentary mount on any of a plurality of said electronic components.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed: 
     
       1. A system for engagement of electronic components with eyewear, comprising:
 one or a plurality of rails engaged with a frame of said eyewear, said frame extending between engagements at a respective first and second end of said frame, with a strap or temple; 
 one or a plurality of electronic components each having a complimentary engagement component to said rail, whereby one or a plurality of said electronic components may be engaged with a said rail, and adjusted to a position thereon in between said first end and said second of said frame, once engaged. 
 
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1  wherein said electronic components are from a group including antennas, illumination components, supplemental power components, and electronic video capture and transmission components. 
     
     
       3. The system of  claim 2  wherein said frame is a goggle frame surrounding a periphery edge of a lens; and
 said one or plurality of rails are engaged with said goggle frame adjacent to said peripheral edge. 
 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 2  wherein said frame is a bridge of eyeglasses; and
 said bridge engaged along a lower edge with a shield lens or with eyeglass lenses. 
 
     
     
       5. The system of  claim 1  wherein said frame is a goggle frame surrounding a peripheral edge of a lens; and
 said one or plurality of rails are engaged with said goggle frame adjacent to said peripheral edge. 
 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 5  wherein said one or plurality of rails have ridges formed thereon; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said ridges. 
 
     
     
       7. The system of  claim 5  wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed in the shape of an I-beam; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said I-beam shape and is slidably engageable thereon. 
 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 5  wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed as a slot depending into said frame; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary a shape of said slot, and is slidably engageable therein. 
 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 1  wherein said frame is a bridge of eyeglasses; and
 said bridge engaged along a lower edge with a shield lens or with eyeglass lenses. 
 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 9  wherein said one or plurality of rails have ridges formed thereon; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said ridges. 
 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 9  wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed in the shape of an I-beam; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said I-beam shape and is slidably engageable thereon. 
 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 9  wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed as a slot depending into said frame; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary a shape of said slot, and is slidably engageable therein. 
 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 1  wherein said one or plurality of rails have ridges formed thereon; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said ridges. 
 
     
     
       14. The system of  claim 1  wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed in the shape of an I-beam; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary to said I-beam shape and is slidably engageable thereon. 
 
     
     
       15. The system of  claim 1  wherein said one or plurality of rails have are formed as a slot depending into said frame; and
 said engagement component has a surface thereon complimentary a shape of said slot, and is slidably engageable therein.
